How nice.
VERY nice, actually.
Yeah, nothing like trying to whitewash your sins by offering up a
minor, token feel-good story every once in a while.
3000 children is not "once in a while".
Israel left Gaza, it kept helping Gaza in various ways. That your
Hamas heroes, instead of moving on and improving things, kept
the war going, and never let go of their dream of destroying Israel,
is their fault. It's the plain truth, that you're apparently too dumb
to see.
For the rest, blame your Hamas heroes:
Is this the theory that the instigator of a war, like that which
started on October 7 2023, must bear all the blame for all the
atrocities committed by the other side on them?
Basically yes, not only because they instigated the war and how,
but also because of their MO, which you happily deleted. So here
it is again, stupid errand boy.
Report on Hamas' use of human shields in Gaza ---------------------------------------------
https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf
Hamas' most common uses of human shields include:
* Firing rockets, artillery, and mortars from or in proximity to heavily populated civilian areas, often from or near facilities which should be protected according to the Geneva Convention (e.g. schools, hospitals,
or mosques).
* Locating military or security-related infrastructures such as HQs, bases, armouries, access routes, lathes or defensive positions within or in proximity to civilian areas.
* Protecting terrorists' houses and military facilities, or rescuing terrorists who were besieged or warned by the IDF.
* Combating the IDF from or in proximity to residential and commercial areas, including using civilians for intelligence gathering missions.
By engaging in these acts, Hamas employs a win-win scenario: if indeed the IDF uses kinetic power, and the number of civilian causalities surges, Hamas can use that as a weapon in the lawfare it conducts. It would be able to accuse
the IDF (and Israel) of committing war crimes, which in turn could result in the imposition of a wide array of sanctions. On the other hand, if the IDF limits
its use of military power in Gaza to avoid collateral damage, Hamas will be less
vulnerable to Israeli attacks, and thereby able to protect its assets while continuing to fight.
